Has there ever been a time when I wanted to make a birthday cake for my family by myself but gave up because I couldn't decorate it? Have you ever had an experience of making a cake as you imagined, but the result was unbearable? It's okay, we can make a tree stump cake using the simplest method without piping or smoothing. The annual rings on the tree stump can be designed according to one's own needs, such as the age of a child or the anniversary of marriage We can still make a cake that is worth making with zero piping foundation.

Steps to make Stump cake

1. Separate the egg whites and yolks, and make sure the container for the egg whites is free of water and oil
2. Beat the egg yolk.
3. Add 15 grams of white sugar to the egg yolk and stir evenly.
4. Add milk to the egg yolk and mix well.
5. Add corn oil to the egg yolk and mix well.
6. Sift low flour into the egg yolk and stir evenly.
7. Beat the egg white to coarse foam, add 10g sugar, continue to beat to fine foam, add 10g sugar, beat to wet foam, add 10g sugar, and finally beat to dry foam. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees.
8. Add one-third protein paste to the egg yolk batter.
9. Use a scraper to stir the protein and batter up and down evenly.
10. Pour the mixed batter into the remaining protein and stir evenly.
11. Pour the batter into the cake mold, remove any bubbles, and place it in a preheated oven at 150 degrees Celsius for 55 minutes
12. Invert the baked cake onto a baking net and let it cool before demolding.
13. Chop the Happy Nut into small pieces for later use.
14. Cut the cake horizontally into two pieces.
15. Add 20 grams of sugar to the light cream and beat the cream until it is 60% whipped.
16. Add 20 grams of cocoa powder and beat until the texture does not disappear.
17. Take a piece of cake and spread cream on top.
18. Cover the first piece with another piece of cake and spread cream on the surface and around it. (Since it's a stump, let it be rough to the end. There's no need to smooth it out here, you can also smooth out the roughness of the trunk.)
19. Use a piping nozzle to squeeze out circles of annual rings on the surface, which can be done intermittently but not too evenly
Sprinkle cocoa powder on the surface.
21. Sprinkle crushed pistachios in the gaps between the cream rings.
